yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm based on the 24-hour clock. There should be a space between the date and the time, as shown below:

After the collector runs, the value in this column is updated to the next time the collector will run.

3.To change how often the collector runs, enter the number of minutes in the Interval box.

IMPORTANT: Do not make the interval too short. Running a collector too frequently uses up space on the management server and impacts its performance.

4.To enable the collector, click Start.

5.To stop a collector, click Stop.

6.To view a report, click its link. See ”Viewing Reports” on page 435 for more information.

Refreshing a Report

To view the latest information in a report:

1.Select Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight Manager

2.Click the Report Cache tab.

3.Click Refresh Now.

The management server gathers the latest information from the database and makes this information available to the reports.

The reports are refreshed every six hours by default. To change the schedule for refreshing a report, see ”Refreshing the Report Cache” on page 208.

If you are still seeing old information after you click Refresh Now, verify that your database is being updated within the appropriate time frame for your organization. Some of the information contained in the database depends on whether the collectors are running and when they last ran. To verify that the collectors are running at the appropriate intervals for your organization, click the Data Collection tab to access the configuration pages for the many types of collectors.

If you find you are still viewing old information regarding elements on the network, you may need to perform Discovery Data Collection. It is best to perform Discovery Data Collection at regular intervals. See ”Adding a Discovery Schedule” on page 182.

Changing the Formatting of a Report

Reports are displayed in HTML format by default. To change the formatting of the report, select one of the following options from the Format menu in Reporter, and then click Run Report:

•HTML (Default) - Displays the report in a Web page by default.

•PDF - Displays the report in Adobe Acrobat, a good option if you need to print the report. The software assumes you already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. To obtain a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to http://www.adobe.com.

•Excel - Displays the report in Microsoft Excel, providing you have a copy of Microsoft Excel already installed.
